Vacations are very fun, interesting, and a great way to bond with your family. But, the most affordable way to have a super vacation is taking a road trip. Before you go on your road trip extravaganza, read this article and you will have the time of your life!

Steps

Plan where your family will stay during the trip. It can be with a hotel, with a relative, or even with a friend.

Pack everything you'll need. If you have limited car space, use strict limitations. It's a good idea to include change for a laundromat, should you get stranded at your destination. Or, you could have everyone pack half the amount of outfits as they'd need, and do the laundry on the day they run out.

4

Make sure you have a recent road map. A road map from your last road trip to your destination in 1990 will be outdated. Highlight your planned route.

5

Have an emergency kit in your car. This should include a cellular phone, matches, flares and a car starter.

6

Be kid-prepared. If you are driving with kids, give them plenty of activities to do, especially if your destination is a long ways from your home. One possibility would be purchasing a dual screen portable DVD player so the kids can watch movies.
